I decided to try a night here during my last trip to Ottawa. The rooms are big and include a lot of extras free of charge. I found it odd that there were so many channels available on their cable service but then they only put a small TV in the room. I could see some people having trouble reading... more

Have been here for long term stay, which seems to be the norm for the majority of the guests are military or federal gov't employees. Hotel itself is dated, a tired 80’s retro in need of modernizing. Location is fantastic, walking distance to all major sites including Parliament, NAC and Byward market all of which are less than a 10... more

Where to start..I am still staying here. Amenities are all good things to have. Internet has gone out on me some 7 times now, and always seems to be when the IT person goes home for the day. Using the cam/puter, I am forced to wear headphones as the feedback is horrendous. While wearing earbuds which work better..I constantly hear... more

I stayed here recently because it was a better deal that other properties. Close to the Rideau Canal, downtown, and the University of Ottawa, you get a full apartment instead of a hotel room. Rooms are spotless. Staff very courteous and helpful. Rug and furniture a bit dated.100+ channels of TV and free high speed internet access a plus. more

I travel to Ottawa very often on business trips. In the last year I have tried many many other places. For some reason I came back to the Business Inn with a sigh of relief. The rooms are so incredibly spacious. There is a full kitchen in every suite that I have stayed in, though some of the appliances are... more

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Nice, clean, friendly stuff, fully equipped kitchen, computer with hi-speed internet and the printer in the room (even though printer had no ink in it :-), great location and all that for the price of $99/night. I was completely satisfied and I am booking it again for my next visit. more

Even though I have read the review about the size of the suite, I am still pleasantly surprised by it. Not only is it very spacious, but the facilities are good. They provided good quality utensils in the kitchen. There is even free laundry in the hotel. The only negative is the underground parking. The driveway is steep and narrow.... more

This place was great. I've stayed in many hotels, from New York City to Toronto to Ottawa. Understand first off that I'm a student, so price is a factor. The business Inn was very resonably priced, 100 a night, for a VERY large room, free internet, kitchen, Nice TV, I loved the decor, the staff was nice, the location is... more

First the good. The hotel has a terrific location with plenty of restaurants, bars and shops right on the doorstep. The lobby is nice, and the staff are friendly. The in-room computer with free internet access is fantastic. The suites are large. Now the not-so-good. The decor was very much that of a cheap student apartment - tired furniture, dated... more

In Ottawa, The Business Inn is located almost perfectly at the corner of MacClaren and Elgin.. You need not walk far to find bars/restaurants, as they are everywhere! The suite resembled a one-bedroom apartment, with a living area, dining room and kitchen, plus an outside balcony. Very nice [free] Dell computer with printer. King bed in the bedroom and queen-size... more
